The Veil itself was an enigma, a plane between planes and something which spanned the multiverse as an all-encompassing, yet binding thing. While many speculated what the veil truly was, many assumed it to be the "blood" of creation that was used to shield the fledgling existence that was to come about, who's mantle was later taken up by the Goddess of Knowledge, [[Vikret]]. The Veil itself was a plane of intense magic that bridged the infinite realms in the beyond together, while also keeping out elements that sought to annihilate it. Glowing highways spanned and twisted as far as the eyes could see, and many higher beings including the divine often traveled these roads to get to their destinations, which spanned from [[The Fey Wilds]] to [[Bahari#danaldaie|Danaldaie]]. Yet outside of the roads many foreign beings unique to the veil existed which were both kind and malevolent alike that tempted many a traveler off the beaten path.

Leylines were the bridges between worlds. They differed from Veil tears as they are channels which were formed intentionally by [[Vikret]] to funnel magic to and from planes, and to keep eternal balance with her ever-expanding realm. The Leylines themselves were rather enigmatic, and their greater purposes are unknown, though [[The Origin|origin mages]] from nearly every realm had utilized their powers for generations. Their most common use was in rituals, greater practices in origin magic, and the lighting of one's [[The Aurum|Aurum]]. Veil tears were similar to Leylines, yet the difference was they can allow creatures of the Veil and beyond to cross through where it would normally have been impossible.

The Veil itself was considered a plane between planes. Inside the Veil, a purple or blue sea ensued, almost appearing like stars in the sky, though it was hard to make out what exactly was within this astral plane. Few had managed to be able to enter its turbulent environment and make it out intact. [[Vikret#thryiseses|Thry'iseses]], the Holy Realm of Vikret, was said to lay somewhere in the heart of the Veil. None had been able to actually reach the place, making it hard to have believed the integrity of this rumor. Rules within the Veil were not the same as they are within any plane, many of which were turbulent and ever-changing, and was said that time passed ten times as fast within the veil compared to the mortal realms.

Summary

The sour symphonies are a fragmented set of realms consisting of twisted amalgamations corrupted by the fracture which once stemmed from Cazius divine spirits. They take up residence in memories long forgotten and places with dense amounts of sound and stimuli, where they torment the spirits who remain, devouring them for energy like a feeding ground until there is no song left for them to consume. Documentation lists that all the places they visit are changed into a black and white coloration for any who venture inside. Additionally, they are filled with an eerie silence that is almost deafening, blanketed with a pale white fog which seems to stay perfectly still as if time itself was stuck.

Yamashiro

The old city of Yamashiro, at least this forgotten fragment, appears to be the first documented case of the anomaly we now dub a "Sour Symphony", indicating the prescence of the twisted caricatures of divine spirits and anomalous environments we have now come to be familiar associating them with. It is here we first discovered the Conductor, the Symphonist, the Accompanist and a variant of the lost coined now as "the deafened".
